1 INITIATIVE OF THE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLES ON SECURITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS CORPORATE PILLAR REPORTING GUIDELINES I. INTRODUCTION The Participation Criteria of the Initiative of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights ( Voluntary Principles Initiative ) sets forth each Participant s intent to engage in full dialogue on the implementation of the Voluntary Principles. The Criteria further state that each Participant is to report annually to the Plenary on its efforts to implement, and/or assist in the implementation of, the Voluntary Principles. The purpose of the Reporting Guidelines is to help: (i) support transparency regarding efforts to support and implement, and/or assist in the implementation of, the Voluntary Principles; (ii) assist Participants in reporting on efforts to implement the Voluntary Principles to the Plenary (iii) provide a consistent framework for reporting on the verification process identified in respective verification frameworks, and (iv) facilitate the exchange of good practices among Participants. The reports are not intended to grade implementation by one Participant against another. Participants are expected to describe their efforts to implement the Voluntary Principles each year recognizing any and all security and legal considerations, as well as practical issues related to the collection of required information. II. CORPORATE PILLAR REPORTING GUIDELINES The Corporate Pillar Reporting Guidelines are divided into four sections: (A) Commitment to the Voluntary Principles; (B) Policies, Procedures and Related Activities; (C) Country Implementation; and (D) Lessons and Issues. Sections A C set forth expected reporting commitments and Section D is optional. Note that some of the Reporting Guidelines call for a description of company processes, while others call for examples, often of the processes in practice. In addition, some of the Reporting Guidelines may call for overlapping or related material, which may appropriately be combined by companies in their reports. Further, for some of the Reporting Guidelines, there are detailed Guidance Notes, which align with or are otherwise related to the Guidance on Certain Roles and
2 Responsibilities of Companies; while these Guidance Notes are optional, robust and fulsome annual reports will take due consideration of them, and seek to incorporate them where applicable and appropriate. The Reporting Guidelines also contain cross references to relevant UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which may further inform the substance or manner in which information is reported. Finally, in addition to the information expressly identified in the Reporting Guidelines, the Corporate Pillar Verification Framework specifically provides that companies that have opted in to the Framework will select organizationally appropriate performance indicators and include the review assessment process in annual reports to the Plenary consistent with these Reporting Guidelines. The Guidance Notes suggest that this content appear in connection with Reporting Guideline 13, and that companies include information related to the results or outcomes of those assessments.
3 III. REPORTING CONTENT A.
